Note (return) — Rev. ANDREW LEE, A.M. (continued 5)

"As her soul was departing, for she died." And a resurrection is represented as a return of the soul to the body from which it had been seperated: As of the widow's son whom Elijah raised from the dead —"And the soul of the child came into him again, and he revived." The language of the New Testament is the same. "This day thou shalt be fellow sufferer on the cross, whose body was the same day committed to the grave." St. Paul "had a desire to depart and to be with Christ," which he opposed to abiding in the flesh. If soul and body sleep together in the grave, he would have been no sooner with Christ. than though he had lived here till the resurrection. When St. John was indulged a sight of heaven, he saw the souls of the martyrs who had been slain before that period, and heard them crying for vengeance on the murderers who were yet living on earth.
